CIRCA NUNDAH FEATURE
With the Nundah Street Festival upon us once again, it’s an exciting time to reflect on our unique community. As one of the most accessible and most sought-after locations on the Northside, the face of Nundah is rapidly changing with the growing number of new businesses offering an array of fresh options for residents, complementing the long-standing cornerstone businesses of the area. Events such as the Nundah Street Festival can’t exist without the legion of volunteers from the community and local businesses who work together. For a suburb so close to the city, we’re always delighted to see the pride everyone takes in their community here. Ten years ago we started working on a vision to revitalise a suburb that had a high percentage of empty shops but was brimming with potential. It is through the support of all facets of the community that we now walk down through Circa Nundah Village and see a thriving hub every day of the week. Soon we will witness the completion of the final chapter of our story here in Nundah, with our final stage THREE Nundah Village, and we are excited to see how this community continues to flourish. Kevin Miller | PROPERTY SOLUTIONS

It’s Festival Time! Not just in Nundah but all over Brisbane, this time of year is punctuated by many city and suburban celebrations. The days are beautiful and clear with an abundance of blue skies, and spring brings on feelings of a fresh new season as we transition from our short northern winter. It’s a glorious time of year to enjoy the company of friends and family and make the most of the incredible local offerings in a suburb like Nundah.
Showcasing our fabulous lifestyle as the weather warms up is key to the success of the Nundah Village Street Festival and Art Show. These same elements help shape successful property sales and should be well conveyed to buyers as part of your property’s “why” if you’re selling. We “Nundahners” love the Nundah lifestyle and are proud of what our suburb offers. Enjoy this fabulous festival season and come and say g’day on September 10 as I proudly continue my support of the Nundah Village Street Festival.

Taking Care of Your Loved Ones
LOCAL PROFILE
Machaela and Mark Magennis have opened Brisbane North Home Care Assistance in Nundah Village – providing personalised care for Brisbane seniors. With a background in nursing and business, and a passion for providing quality care for seniors, Machaela and Mark enjoy working with clients who require help caring for a loved one. “We speak to people who have a loved one who may have trouble performing daily tasks, or need assistance so they can continue living independently,” says Machaela. “With the help of our Care Partners we allow family members to resume their role as a loving and supportive family member and take over the role of carer.” Machaela and Mark have carefully screened a range of Care Partners who complete comprehensive training to provide the highest calibre of care. “Our staff look after our client’s family members the same way that our clients would if they had time,” says Machaela.
Home Care Assistance offers short-term to 24-hour live-in care in Brisbane and offers a complimentary in-house assessment to understand the client’s background and interests. This assessment allows Machaela and Mark to match the best possible Care Partner to match to enrich the life of their clients. Machaela and Mark are enjoying working with North Brisbane residents with their care needs. “It is so rewarding to see the progress that our clients have under our care and to see that what we are doing every day is enriching the lives of so many people,” says Machaela.

Northgate’s Local Maker: Meet Jordan
PUTIA PURE FOOD KITCHEN Fresh food at its best! Putia offers a sensational breakfast, lunch and dessert menu including unique house-made specialties, vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options.
Brisbane local Jordan Emlyn-Jones was not planning to open a timber workshop. After finishing school on Brisbane’s Northside he moved to New York and found work as a bartender. “Weekends were always crammed with work, but I found I had a lot of spare time during the week,” says Jordan. “I found myself working with wood out in Brooklyn and loving it. I found my passion.”
4/17 Royal Parade, Banyo Ph 3267 6654 /putiapurefoodkitchen putiapurefood.com.au
When Jordan returned to Brisbane, he set up Acorn & Oak, a one-man timber workshop, where he crafts custom pieces of furniture for local clients. “I enjoy waking up every morning and having the ability to go into my shop and simply create,” says Jordan. “It’s a great feeling to watch something manifest from nothing, knowing it was at your hands.” Brisbane locals enjoy entertaining, and custom dining tables are fast becoming the most in-demand item at Acorn & Oak. “Dining tables are becoming more requested,” says Jordan. “Which is music to my ears as tables are my favourite item to create!” Acorn & Oak | 0413 294 024 1/86 Old Toombul Road, Northgate (By Appointment Only) www.acornandoak.com.au | /acornandoakco Pelmini (Russian Dumplings)

The latest happenings from Cameron Chau Mark Smith Dentists Cameron Chau Mark Smith Dentists in Nundah has had a busy and eventful past few months. After flooding caused damage to one of the surgery rooms, Cameron and Mark took the opportunity to upgrade the area with brand new modern equipment.
“We would like to thank our clients for their patience during the renovations. We are pleased to now offer our patients a more modern experience,” says Mark. Cameron also enjoyed some quality time away from the clinic in June, after his wife Vivienne welcomed their first child, Elizabeth. With Cameron back in the office and the renovations complete, Mark and Cameron are focusing on the latest advances in dental technologies and procedures for their patients. “We look forward to working with our current patients and also welcoming new clients – Nundah is definitely growing and we enjoy meeting the new locals!” Cameron Chau Mark Smith Dentists 1220 Sandgate Road, Nundah | Ph 3256 8056
Inspiring a Love of Science With a desire to encourage a love of science among students, Brisbane Northside local Steve Liddell has created one of Australia’s premier science productions. Steve launched Street Science after several years of teaching in Brisbane Northside schools.
‘I loved working in schools and I saw an opportunity to provide more hands-on opportunities in science so that children and adults could really engage,’ says Steve. Steve started Street Science by doing science demonstrations at schools, and it steadily grew to shows at Queen Street Mall, National Science Week events and the Brisbane EKKA.“We find parents, students and teachers love the demonstrations,’ says Steve. ‘Often teachers don’t have the resources to do what we can do, so we can bridge the gap. Plus the kids have so much fun while they are learning!’ Street Science has expanded to offer school incursions, science parties and community performances. Steve looks forward to continuing to expand the show interstate and encourage a love of science among Aussie kids. Street Science | www.streetscience.com.au | 0410 550 481

“Your Build, Our Priority”
COOPER FAMILY LAW Your Will A Will is an important legal instrument that establishes how your estate is to be administered after you pass away. Unless you have a validly executed Will, the law will determine how your assets are distributed. This may not be in accordance with your wishes. It is therefore crucial to have a Will and to keep it regularly updated. You should also consider making an Enduring Power of Attorney. This important document gives a person you nominate the power to make important health and financial decisions on your behalf, critical if you were to lose the capacity to make those decisions yourself. Your Financial Agreement Having a Financial Agreement (sometimes called a pre-nuptial agreement or “pre-nup”) gives everyone in a relationship peace of mind should the unthinkable happen. It is also an important estate planning document for family estate purposes. Save the worry, hurt, expense and anguish of property settlement litigation by having a Financial Agreement prepared for you and your partner. At Cooper Family Law, we offer low-cost, fixedfees for the preparation of Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Financial Agreements and other important estate planning documents. Contact us today to find out how we can assist you with these documents, as well as all other aspects of family law. Made with love in Nundah.
Nundah Village Festival Special
Register with us at the Cooper Family Law stall during the Nundah Village Street Festival on September 10, 2017 to prepare your will or financial agreement and we will waive the cost of the initial consultation (normally $330 inclusive of GST - conditions apply).

65 Roses Art Prize Paint with a Purpose
75th Anniversary
On average, one Australian child is born with cystic fibrosis every week. It is the most common life-shortening genetic condition in Australia. There is no cure. The 65 Roses Art Prize, organised by Cystic Fibrosis Queensland, aims to give emerging artists the opportunity to paint for a purpose.
The Nundah Northgate RSL Sub Branch will host a Memorial Service to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Milne Bay on Sunday, 27 August. The service will be held in Nundah Memorial Park, corner of Bage Street and Buckland Road, Nundah, commencing at 10.00am.
Students are asked to submit a single rose composition in any medium on a 30.5cm x 30.5cm canvas. A selection of entries will be exhibited in Brisbane City Hall from 14 September, prior to winners being announced at the 65 Roses Gala Ball on the 7 October.
Battle of Milne Bay
All veterans, their families and members of the community are invited to attend. Any family members wishing to lay a wreath during the service are asked to contact the Sub-branch on 3256 7887 or email nu07770@bigpond.net.au.
The free competition is open to Year 7 – 12 students, with entries closing on the 7 September. There is over $1,200 in cash and prizes to be awarded.
Nudgee Beach Wheelchair Project The Nundah Lions Club recently became aware of a need for a specialised wheelchair at the Nudgee Beach Environmental Education Centre. Working with other local Lions Clubs, including Bracken Ridge Central Lions and Brisbane Inner North Lions, Nundah Lions Club was able to raise the funds to purchase a chair that would allow students to access the mud flats and beach. The chair assessed as the most suitable has the capacity to be used by students of varying sizes and uses large, balloon type wheels to support the occupants weight while on sand. The local Lions Clubs raised $3,132 for the specialised chair, with The Australian Lions Foundation matching the donations and contributing $3,132. On 13 June the local Lions Clubs were able to present the Nudgee Beach Environmental Education Centre with the wheelchair.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE NUNDAH NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE
Hire this Space for your event Earlier this year, the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre launched Platform 14, an exciting new event space in the heart of Nundah Village. Platform 14 is a multi-functional laneway, available for hire by the local community. It is a great venue for celebrations, events, launches or functions and provides a fun and vibrant atmosphere. Unlike other venues, a kitchen is available for use, which allows hosts to bring food and drink to lower the cost of events. All funds collected from the hire of this space go directly back into providing services and support to Nundah and the surrounding community.
Community Composting The Nundah Neighbourhood Centre and Legal Service has partnered with the Brisbane City Council to develop a community composting scheme. This allows kitchen scraps that once went in the bin, to become nutrients for soil. A large component of what is collected through Brisbane bins is food waste. By composting this food waste, it reduces the amount of landfill, reduces our carbon footprint, and creates nutritious soil for our gardens. This program is supported by the Brisbane City Council, as well as a team of dedicated volunteers, who manage the compost and the community garden. Registered participants of the scheme receive a free kitchen caddy from the council to collect and transport the food waste to the composting site. Following the signage, the scraps can be disposed of easily and will then turn into a resource for the community. Our composting facility can be found at the back of our centre, at the rear of our car park. To register for the composting scheme, head to the Brisbane City Council’s website and search for ‘Community Composting.’
The development of this space took many months of fundraising, planning, and hard work from staff and volunteers. Platform 14 was designed by Melinda Taylor and built by Scott Frost, who gave their time and expertise so this space could come to life to be enjoyed by the whole community. The Platform 14 street sign was donated by Mark Roemermann, making the laneway a landmark in its own right. If you are interested in hiring this space please contact Centre Administration on 3260 6820 or email admin1@nundahcc.org.au.
@ShareMyShoes with Toombul Centre During July, the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre supported the Share My Shoes community initiative, which raises much-needed funds for Australia’s largest children’s education charity, The Smith Family. A large collection shoebox was placed in the reception area of the Centre and in several locations across Australia with locals asked to donate a pair of shoes. Every pair of donated shoes will now be sold through The Smith Family’s retail stores to help fund education programs for disadvantaged young Australians across the country.
For those who didn’t have a pair of shoes to donate, Mirvac offered to donate $1 to The Smith Family for every shoe picture posted on Facebook or Instagram using @sharemyshoes. The Centre thanks everyone who donated shoes or uploaded a shoe picture to raise funds for this program.
